Brian Sergio
Brian Sergio Depending on who you talk to, Brian Sergio is a pervert, a genius, a hack. His photographs and zines have fueled arguments, fired imaginations, and launched careers. His vision blurs the boundaries between the accepted and the profane, a sophisticated sublimity hiding in the garish poses and overexposed lighting that have come to be distinct marks of his work. Brian’s greatest talent lies in his ability to inadvertently charm the viewer despite his initially shocking subject matter. There’s a sense of fun behind his work, which doesn’t ask viewers to take it seriously, even though they are compelled to do so.
